Oh...she's a purty one! Personally, I love the blue. Maybe she was a tad on the expensive side, but you'll love sewing on her every day, so it's money well spent, I say. Besides, with prices going up and up, it will seem like nothing in a year, or two. Be sure to tell her to pack it right and let her know about the EBay guide about packing a sewing machine for shipment.
